The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 6 7 IEA INCOME FUND VII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations IEA Income Fund VII, A California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of California on June 27, 1985 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers. The managing general partner is Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC"); the associate general partners include seven individuals, one is an officer of CCC. CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership commenced operations on February 2, 1987, when the minimum subscription proceeds of $1,000,000 were obtained. The Partnership offered 40,000 units of limited partnership interest at $500 per unit, or $20,000,000. The offering terminated on August 31, 1987, at which time 9,314 limited partnership units had been purchased. As of June 30, 1999, the Partnership owned and operated 631 twenty-foot and 563 forty-foot marine dry cargo containers. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in CCC. CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements. (Continued) 7 8 IEA INCOME FUND VII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Net lease revenue is recorded by the Partnership in each period based upon its leasing agent agreement with the Leasing Company. Net lease revenue is generally dependent upon operating lease rentals from operating lease agreements between the Leasing Company and its various lessees, less direct operating expenses and management fees due in respect of the containers specified in each operating lease agreement. (d) Financial Statement Presentation These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. (2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management fees payable, reimbursed administrative expenses, and incentive fees payable to CCC and its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease receivables at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were as follows:
June 30, December 31, 1999 1998 -------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $18,773 at June 30, 1999 and $22,438 at December 31, 1998 $182,034 $286,993 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 46,415 74,866 Damage protection reserve 15,423 20,870 Base management fees 30,997 32,974 Reimbursed administrative expenses 2,620 3,559 Incentive fees 25,873 19,764 -------- -------- $ 60,706 $134,960 ======== ========
(Continued) 8 9 IEA INCOME FUND VII, (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, base management and incentive fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC from the rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, was as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------------- ------------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- Rental revenue (note 4) $126,335 $213,016 $292,005 $442,565 Less: Rental equipment operating expenses 33,936 44,639 72,447 88,091 Base management fees 10,613 14,669 22,869 30,422 Reimbursed administrative expenses 7,469 10,617 15,497 26,149 Incentive fees 25,874 23,357 55,699 45,277 -------- -------- -------- -------- $ 48,443 $119,734 $125,493 $252,626 ======== ======== ======== ========
(4) Operating Segment The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public business enterprises report financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate financial information is available. Management operates the Partnership's container fleet as a homogenous unit and has determined, after considering the requirements of SFAS No. 131, that as such it has a single reportable operating segment. The Partnership derives its revenues from owning and leasing marine cargo containers. As of June 30, 1999, the Partnership operated 631 twenty-foot and 563 forty-foot marine dry cargo containers. Due to the Partnership's lack of information regarding the physical location of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, it is impracticable to provide the geographic area information required by SFAS No. 131. Any attempt to separate "foreign" operations from "domestic" operations would be dependent on definitions and assumptions that are so subjective as to render the information meaningless and potentially misleading. 9 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. 1) Material changes in financial condition between June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. During the first six months of 1999, the Registrant disposed of 280 containers as part of its ongoing operations. At June 30, 1999, 57% of the original equipment remained in the Registrant's fleet, as compared to 70% at December 31, 1998, and was comprised of the following:
20-Foot 40-Foot ------- ------- Containers on lease: Term leases 91 146 Master leases 392 328 --- --- Subtotal 483 474 Containers off lease 148 89 --- --- Total container fleet 631 563 === ===
20-Foot 40-Foot ------------------------ ------------------------ Units % Units % ----- ----- ----- ----- Total purchases 1,001 100% 1,104 100% Less disposals 370 37% 541 49% ----- ----- ----- ----- Remaining fleet at June 30, 1999 631 63% 563 51% ===== ===== ===== =====
During the second quarter of 1999, distributions from operations and sales proceeds amounted to $268,430, reflecting distributions to the general and limited partners for the first quarter of 1999. This represents an increase from the $177,876 distributed during the first quarter of 1999, reflecting distributions for the fourth quarter of 1998. The Registrant's continuing disposal of containers should produce lower operating results and, consequently, lower distributions from operations to the limited partners in subsequent periods. Sales proceeds distributed to the limited partners may fluctuate in subsequent periods, reflecting the level of container disposals. The sentiment with respect to the container industry's slump over the past two years has turned more favorable in recent months as evidence suggests a turnaround is underway with respect to Asia's economic crisis. In recent months, economic reforms in Asia, as well as in Latin America, have begun to produce gradual improvement in terms of world trade, and there are preliminary indications that containerized trade volumes from North America and Europe to Asia, in particular, may be stabilizing. In addition, intra-Asian trade, which also has stagnated since the Asia financial crisis began nearly two years ago, has shown increased activity in recent months. These favorable signs, however, have yet to produce any significant positive impact on the Registrant's operating performance. In spite of the reduced redelivery of on-hire equipment by the ocean carriers, per-diem rental rates, which declined 10 11 sharply over the past two years, have continued to soften as a result of competitive market conditions, decreased demand and high inventories. The Registrant continues to take advantage of its strong marketing resources in order to seek out leasing opportunities during this period in which seasonal factors are also influencing the increased demand. At the same time, it has identified specific strategies intended to strengthen on-hire volumes and enhance utilization of the container fleet. The short-term objective is to improve utilization by offering greater leasing incentives and actively moving surplus, off-hire equipment to higher-demand locations. While this short-term strategy will increase repositioning expenses, it may also minimize those expenses related to handling and storing off-hire containers. These measures will also provide the longer-term advantage of placing the containers where the demand is greatest. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998. Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 was $48,443 and $125,493, respectively, a decrease of approximately 60% and 50% from the respective three and six-month periods in the prior year. Approximately 76% and 70%, respectively, of the Registrant's net earnings for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 were from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 36% and 30%, respectively, for the same three and six-month periods in the prior year. As the Registrant's container disposals increase in subsequent periods, net gain on disposal should contribute significantly to the Registrant's net earnings and may fluctuate dependent on the level of container disposals. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 was $126,335 and $292,005, respectively, reflecting a decline of 41% and 34% from the same respective three and six-month periods in 1998. Gross rental revenue was primarily impacted by the Registrant's fleet size and a decline in per-diem rental rates. Average per-diem rental rates decreased approximately 8% and 7%, respectively, when compared to the same three and six-month periods in the prior year. The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ----------------------- ----------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- Average fleet size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) 1,849 2,446 1,960 2,494 Average Utilization 80% 82% 80% 81%
The Registrant's diminishing fleet size contributed to a 41% and 28% decline in depreciation expense respectively when compared to the same three and six-month periods in the prior year. Rental equipment operating expenses were 27% and 25%, respectively, of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 21% and 20%, respectively, of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the same three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998. 11 12 Year 2000 The Registrant relies upon the financial and operational systems provided by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as well as the systems provided by other independent third parties to service the three primary areas of its business: investor processing/maintenance; container leasing/asset tracking; and accounting finance. The Leasing Company's computer systems have undergone modifications in order to render the systems ready for the Year 2000. The Leasing Company has completed a detailed inventory of all software and hardware systems and has identified all components that need to be modified. The Leasing Company has completed all the necessary changes and testing in a dedicated Year 2000 environment. The Leasing Company anticipates that all compliant code will be live by the end of August 1999. The Leasing Company has contacted all of its critical business suppliers and has been advised that their systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Leasing Company has also confirmed the compliance of its suppliers' products through its own extensive testing. Expenses associated with addressing Year 2000 issues are being recognized as incurred. Management has not yet assessed the Year 2000 compliance expense but does not anticipate the costs incurred to date or to be incurred in the future by the Leasing Company and its affiliates to be in excess of $500,000. None of the costs incurred with respect to Year 2000 compliance will be borne by the Registrant. The Leasing Company believes it will be able to resolve any major Year 2000 issues. The Leasing Company is aware of the implications of a Year 2000 computer system failure and is currently in the process of developing its contingency plans. While management believes the possibility of a Year 2000 system failure to be remote, if the Leasing Company's internal systems or those of its critical business suppliers fail, the Leasing Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations may be adversely affected. Cautionary Statement This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to future results of the Registrant, including certain projections and business trends, that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in: economic conditions; trade policies; demand for and market acceptance of leased marine cargo containers; competitive utilization and per-diem rental rate pressures; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in the above discussion of the marine container leasing business under Item 2., Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and those detailed from time to time in the filings of Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable. 12 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings As the Registrant has previously reported, in February 1997, its former outside auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen"), resigned as auditors to The Cronos Group (the "Parent Company"), its subsidiaries, and all other entities affiliated with the Parent Company, including the Registrant. The Parent Company is the indirect corporate parent of CCC, the managing general partner of the Registrant. CCC does not believe, based upon the information currently available to it, that Arthur Andersen's resignation was triggered by any concern over the accounting policies and procedures followed by the Registrant. Arthur Andersen's reports on the financial statements of CCC and the Registrant, for years preceding 1996, had not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were any such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, and the subsequent interim period preceding Arthur Andersen's resignation, there were no disagreements between CCC or the Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. In connection with its resignation, Arthur Andersen prepared a report pursuant to Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for filing by the Parent Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As a result of the Arthur Andersen report, the SEC commenced an investigation of the Parent Company on February 10, 1997. The purpose of the investigation has been to determine whether the Parent Company and persons associated with the Parent Company violated the federal securities laws administered by the SEC. The Registrant does not believe that the focus of the SEC's investigation is upon the Registrant or CCC. Current management of the Parent Company has been in discussions with the staff of the SEC with a view to settling the investigation. The Parent Company is hopeful of reaching a settlement of the investigation by the end of 1999. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities See Item 5. Other Information. Item 5. Other Information In 1993, the Parent Company negotiated a credit facility with several banks for the use by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, including CCC. At December 31, 1998, approximately $33,110,000 in principal indebtedness was outstanding under that credit facility (none of which had been borrowed by the Registrant). As a party to that credit facility, CCC was jointly and severally liable for the repayment of all principal and interest owed under the credit facility. On August 2, 1999, all outstanding amounts under the credit facility were repaid through the establishment of a new credit facility with two financial institutions. CCC is not a party to the new loan agreement. The Parent Company has guaranteed up to $10 million of amounts borrowed under the new credit facility and, as partial security for this guarantee, the Parent Company has pledged all of the capital stock held by it in Cronos Holding/Investments (U.S.), Inc., a Delaware corporation that, in turn, owns all of the outstanding capital stock of CCC. The Registrant is not a borrower under the new credit facility established by the Parent Company, and neither the containers nor the other assets of the Registrant have been pledged as collateral under the new credit facility. 13 14 Item 6.
